Drop-in Programs for youth 14 to 18 years old, one-on-one tutoring
for children and youth, volunteer tutoring programs in partnership
with School District #22, and Senior’s Connections Projects in Vernon
and Lumby are some of the many literacy support programs offered
by the The Junction Literacy and Youth Centre. The Community
Foundation provided funding towards The Life Skills Program which
was developed for youth who struggle with issues such as: positive
self-esteem, self-worth, decision making/making positive choices,
peer pressure, negative influences, and unhealthy relationships. The
goals are to empower youth by developing strategies to cope with a
variety of difficult situations and to engage youth to work towards a
positive and healthy lifestyle.
Brian Davies, a tutor with Junction Literacy Centre, works with one of the
participants.
